Water connects us all, from the rocky shores of Woods Hole, Massachusetts to the icy glaciers of the Arctic and glittering reefs of Southeast Asia. Life on Earth is dependent on healthy oceans. Gyre celebrates these connections and patterns, inspired by revolving forms repeated in nature through hurricanes, seashells, ocean waves and perennial flowers.
